Welcome

Dear Student:

I would like to welcome you to a new school year at Foxcroft Academy and it is an honor to be your Head of School. Within the mission and vision of Foxcroft Academy are very important Guiding Principles which the FA Handbook is based upon:

The Foxcroft Academy Experience… ● builds a global perspective through teaching and learning. ● demonstrates a commitment to serving each student’s growth as a whole person. ● prepares students for lifelong learning. ● honors human difference as fundamental to life. ● enhances the educational experience for all students and staff with quality facilities and technology. ● is implemented by a highly qualified and professional community that is dedicated to students. ● is supported by the pillars of integrity, respect, and responsibility.

The Student Handbook serves as a supporting document to help all members of our community achieve the mission and vision of the school and supports the guiding principles of our community. In a community, understanding the expectations is essential! For example, under the principle of honors human difference, the Student Handbook has valuable information about the zero tolerance of harassment or bullying in the Foxcroft Academy community. Please take the time to read the Handbook, discuss it with your parents/guardians, and ask questions to ensure that you understand these guidelines, as this will be the basis of decisions made throughout the year. It is so important that we will require a signed statement from you and your parent/guardian that indicates that you have reviewed the Student Handbook. Because unanticipated situations may emerge, we reserve the right to change this Handbook at any time without prior notice.

I hope you will take advantage of the many opportunities that exist at Foxcroft Academy: academic classes, co-curricular activities, academic support, and the opportunity to develop lasting relationships with local and international students. If there is an interest, the chances are we have an activity! Become involved, try new things, and give it your best effort and you will find that your experiences will be very rewarding.

On behalf of the Trustees, teachers, and staff of Foxcroft Academy, I would like to wish you a successful experience and I am looking forward to a great year.

So, Ponies..Ride On! Arnold Shorey, Head of School
